Synopsis

A young boy named Adam Harrison sets out on an epic and daring quest to uncover the mystery behind his long-lost dad, only to find out that he is none other than the legendary Bigfoot. He has been hiding deep in the forest for years to protect himself and his family from HairCo., a megacorporation run by Wallace Eastman who is eager to run scientific experiments with his special DNA. As father and son start making up for lost time after Adam's initial disbelief, the boy quickly discovers that he too is gifted with superpowers that are similar to his dad like having large feet (as expected from a Bigfoot), supersonic hearing, running at incredible speeds, and speaking to animals like Tina the Red Squirrel, Trapper the Raccoon, his wife Weecha, Wilbur the Kodiak Bear, and Steve the Woodpecker. But little do they know, Eastman is on their tail as Adam's traces have led them to Bigfoot.

At the end, Adam's father has come back home and the animals have taken to living with the family. On his way to school, Adam's bullies attempt to haze him again but having gone on his journey, Adam calmly tells them that he's finally had enough and kindly asks to be left alone. When they refuse to comply, Adam summons his animal buddies who scare them into leaving him alone while secretly dismantling their bikes to make them crash to further punish them for their previous harassing of Adam which the latter sees and laughs at. A kindhearted girl from his school (who is hinted to have a crush on Adam) spots the scene and asks about it, Adam asks if she would walk with him to school and she agrees while he begins to explain his life to her.
